What is the New DDD Assessment?
The new DDD Assessment is a comprehensive, computerized assessment.
It evaluates the specific, individual support needs of both children and adults with developmental disabilities who live in the community.
It provides information to develop service plans when resources are available.
Why is a New DDD Assessment Needed?
• To assess the needs of each person with developmental disabilities
• To help Case Resource Managers plan for services and supports
• To give the Legislature and decision makers reliable and useful information
Why was it Developed?
A legislative committee audited DDD and identified the need for an assessment process that would:• Be consistent• Be fair• Be equitable• Use an existing system• Clarify policies and standardize practices
How Will it Help a Person with Developmental Disabilities?
The DDD Assessment will evaluate:• The supports needed to perform personal
care tasks and to participate in the activities of daily living as fully as possible.
• The person’s support needs for employment, behavior interventions, medical help and caregiver needs.
6
How is this Different from the MPC Assessment?
The MPC tool was originally developed for older people and was adapted for DDD to use.
The New DDD Assessment evaluates for things that the MPC Assessment does not.
7
Differences (cont’d)
The new DDD assessment is specifically designed to assess the unique needs of people with developmental disabilities.
For example, it evaluates:• Family caregiver needs, • Behavioral support • Protective supervision needs, • Medical needs, and• Employment support needs for working age
people.
8
Who will Take Part in the New Assessment?
The case manager will meet face-to-face with the individual and at least one other person who knows him/her well (most frequently this is a parent or guardian).
Providers are also invited to participate.
Who Has Helped Create The New DDD Assessment?
DDD has worked with many different groups to develop this new assessment:• Individuals with developmental disabilities • Parents• Advocates• Service Providers• DDD Staff in the regions
